I've been watching WSOP on TV. I find it interesting that Matusow and Hellmuth are so well-behaved these days. Funny how things change when an obscure sport is put into the spotlight and gets big sponsors. There is now way in hell either of those guys initiated the change in their behavior. They have been getting pressure, and I am glad they are. Televised poker was turning into a circus.
Phil Ivey got a little sassy when he lost most of his stack. By sassy, I mean rude. To Phil's credit, once he realized he was out of line, he did good and said something to the effect of "no worry, we just see things differently is all." Good for Phil.
Can you imagine what KTL would do on TV if he took a bad beat? Merr would have to put earmuffs on the kids for sure!
